Philosophie der frühen Neuzeit in den böhmischen Ländern
Stanislav Sousedík
Within the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Bohemia formed an entity which if nothing else was reflected in its culture. This study examines the contribution to the creation of this entity for which philosophy claims the credit. It continues the depiction of Bohemian Baroque philosophy up to the end of Emperor Joseph the Second‹s reign in 1790, when the reception of the European Enlightenment became manifest, and shows that a major center of philosophical thought had developed in the 17th century in Prague in particular.The historical and systematic approach taken by the work will appeal to professional philosophers and to those readers interested in cultural history.
